Clough
Working with clay provides young children with a wide range of experiences – tactile, creative, educational and pleasurable.   The responsibility for ensuring that children get the most out of this work rests with the teacher.   However, the teacher does not always have the necessary knowledge or experience to use clay to advantage.   In this book, Peter Clough discusses the basics necessary for successfully working with clay in school.   He covers the types of clays, storage, building techniques and firing – with and without a kiln.   He also points out how the use of clay can be related to various curriculum topics.   To show what can be achieved, the book is illustrated with examples of the work of primary school children.

Cathy Weisman Topal
Kids will happily dig into the soft, malleable medium, exploring its possibilities. They’ll break the clay apart, rejoin it with water, try to model it into recognizable shapes, and cut out great big slabs to design. Pictures of professional sculptures, as well as objects created by kids, fill the book. Children will think it’s playtime—you don’t have to tell them they’re learning, too.
